Zoro x Hiyori seems to be the ship of the moment for the fanbase.
I do think its interesting that fans thought that Zoro accepting Enma was like being part of the Kozuki family... It turns out that the sword was created by Kuina's Grandfather. For all we know, Tashigi might have a connection to the Shimotsuki clan. Oda teased a Zoro flashback that will flesh out his connection to Wano and East Blue which mean we could see Kuina again in the past.

Switch Nami with Pudding, and I approve of all these.
Yeah, it's just a phase. It'll blow over once the arc is through. The most important thing to come out of their interactions was Enma, which as you said, is connected to the Shimotsuki and Wado Ichimonji moreso than it is the Kozuki.
Zoro and Tashigi have an ongoing arc, which stems all the way back from Logue Town. A town called the beginning and ending. They've been cited as a fateful relationship in Tashigi's vivre card, and are on opposite sides of the law, while blurring the lines that separate them over time. Zoro and Hiyori have nothing close to that.

Ironically, Hiyori giving Enma made me more curious about the lore of Kuina's family such as her grandfather. She actually comes from a very prestigious family that are part of a bigger story. Kozaburo should be in his 70's or 80's so he could still be alive. In addition, He is considered a legendary swordsmith and a proficient fighter so its safe to assume that he attained an important position in the world. Oda is teasing it in the most obvious way a Zoro FB that will take us all the way back to connect Wano and East Blue and he cannot subvert this.
I cannot imagine Tashigi not being connected to all of this and she is the inheritor of Kuina's will. In this world, anything is possible such as manipulating souls, and bringing back the deaths. Vegapunk literally created cloning which explains how he created the Pacifistas. The idea of having a Kuina lookalike is not out of this world. Its anybody's guess who Tashigi could be.

Well, considering Tashigi is older than Kuina, that would make Kuina the clone. :P
But I digress, Kuina's spirit definitely resides within Wado Ichimonji, if at least in a meta fashion. And Tashigi respects that sword more than other meito. Whether it means she knew Kuina or not is anyone's guess, but I believe Tashigi knows Kozaburo crafted the blade and its intentions.
In legends, it was said that blacksmiths were able to influence the nature of swords sometimes for a purpose. Wado Ichimonji and Enma are like the blades crafted by Masamune and Muramasa. One blade was an evil blade which cut everything indiscriminately, while the other only cut was deserving to be cut and not cutting what was innocent and undeserving.
Tashigi is capable of sensing the nature and emotions of swords upon close inspection.
This was after the swords were used by evil wielders. Tashigi only knew Zoro as a terrible criminal at the time, and felt the Wado Ichimonji was doomed to be corrupt or hurt by his influence.

The flower Tashigi is wearing is the hibiscus. They are flowers that don't live long, so they are eventually interpreted to mean short lived bliss. Like beauty and youth, or even a short but passionate moment. I think that best describes Tashigi's and Zoro's encounters. They are usually quite brief, but are always packed with so much passion. The two have progressed so quickly in such short time, that if they interacted any bit longer, they'd be married already.

Judging by the SBS in volume 70, she's probably already aware of her feelings but she's embarrassed to admit even to herself she's falling for a pirate 
I can't wait for them to meet again. I want to see how Tashigi's attitude towards Zoro has changed, and the same for Zoro's.

D: In chapter 692, there's a scene where Nami and Luffy reunite. You can see a stocky-looking sailor who appears to be carrying Tashigi on his shoulder. That's her, right?! Why is she riding him? She told Zoro, "Let me down when we find my men." Is Zoro really that worried about her health? Heehee. --Someta
O: Well spotted. Yes, that is Tashigi, but that wasn't on Zoro's orders. I think Tashigi being embarrassed by Zoro was simply that she didn't want her subordinates to see her being helped by a pirate, but being carried by her own men is different. I suppose she might be embarrassed in a different way, though. I don't really know how young women think.
I have been a Zoro Tashigi shipper since she was introduced (16 years) and I think I have quite a good eye to detect story patterns, parallels, and visual clues but even I did not catch that one.
That fan somehow managed to spot Tashigi carried by one of her man in a panel where you can barely see anything
.Men are not as interested in romance and the way Someta ended the question leads me to believe she is a girl
She is implying that Zoro was really concerned for Tashigi and is suggesting that their feelings are mutual. Oda could have ignored that question but he did not...
She is definitely one of us
